Investigators of the Rahiv district police department have charged a resident of Kosivska Polyana, 21-year-old, who during a conflict fired a smooth-bore weapon at his 50-year-old acquaintance in the back. After the shot, the suspect subjected the victim to about ten more blows with a wooden baton on the head and face.
The incident occurred in the evening of 4 November in the village of Kosivska Polyana. The body with no signs of life was discovered by 49-year-old brother of the deceased the next morning.
As the police determined, the men were drinking alcoholic beverages together in a utility building near the victim’s house. During this, a verbal dispute suddenly arose between them, which escalated into a conflict and a brutal murder.
After the crime, the 21-year-old defendant hid from law enforcement. However yesterday, during operational-search activities, criminal police officers detained the suspect.
The police qualified the actions of the detainee under part 1 of article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, i.e., deliberate murder. Investigators are preparing a petition to the court to select a preventive measure for the suspect — remand in custody without the possibility of posting bail. The preliminary investigation continues; procedural leadership is being carried out by the Tyachiv District Prosecutor's Office.
